For textured hair clients, having their hair relaxed is a service that requires frequent visits to the salon for touch-ups. So, adding a relaxer service to your menu is a great way to cater to and support those clients looking for a more permanent style shift. In this article, MIZANI Technical Director Evie Johnson (@contactevie), will show you howto relax a client’s hair using MIZANI’s Butter Blend System.
Make sure your guest has not shampooed their hair for 72 hours prior to the appointment. Using a wide tooth comb, detangle for an even and smooth relaxer application.

To protect the scalp, use Mizani Butter Blend Base along the hairline. This will protect the scalp and prime the hair for relaxing. Made with cocoa butter, shea butter and honey, hair will feel shinier and flake free. Open up the quadrant sections and apply Mizani Butter Blend Base throughout.

Apply the relaxer to the rest of the regrowth, keeping half an inch away from the scalp.

Do not over process the hair, use the recommended relaxer time. When ready to rinse, start with the section where you first applied the relaxer. Double check and open up the hair to make sure all of the relaxer is removed.
